“I often tell my students that I am merely passing on to them the traditions and teachings ingrained in me by former Circle teachers who taught me—Michael Kahn, Nikos Psacharopolous, Larry Moss, Jacqueline Brookes and Teresa Hayden, as well as my teachers who are still current faculty like Moni Yakim, Ed Berkeley, B
.H. Barry and Lucille Rubin. I am the sum of their great theatrical and life wisdom. It is their inspiring philosophies that I pass on to the new generation of Circle students. I believe in the playwright and what he or she has to say and, via the gifts given to me by my teachers, I challenge my students to think, to question, to use their voice, their body, their present, their past and to dig deep into their emotional lives to bring to the stage a vibrant and truthful life. That is what I was taught. And that is what I pass on.”
